LOVE THIS POST. When you’re a booklover and you have a bookish addiction, especially for that *one* novel at the time which you love to pieces – it’s pretty easy to tick all these boxes. While I can’t say I do that exactly, I have been really raving about Spark by Rachael Craw recently, especially in light of the ‘Book Boyfriend Battle’ happening at Teencon2015! I’m team Jamie all the way.Eugenia @ Genie In A Book recently posted…The Narnian Book Tag

Oh my gosh, they are all soo true x’D
Whenever I go into bookstores and nobody is looking at me, I rearrange books xD I know I shouldn’t do them but they put on display the wrong ones, for God’s sake! It’s like they’re begging be to intervene u.u
And signed and personalized copies… GIMME GIMME GIMME!!! *-*Frannie Pan @ In Clouds of Pages recently posted…WWW Wednesday 15.04.2015 + Trailer Reveal: “Nowhere but Here”

I do not, ever, throw with books. It’s a horrible thing to do really. For the book. Also my money unfortunately doesn’t grow on trees so I can’t afford to buy the same books multiple times. And even if I had, it’s a waste of money because it’s the same book. I’d rather buy ones I don’t have yet. 😛 Unless I had the Dutch edition and it’s a series and I want it in English.Bieke @ Istyria book blog recently posted…{ARC Review} Ferals by Jacob Grey

Great post – this is totally me! Especially the “you must own ALL the editions”. When it comes to Percy Jackson, you can never have too many copies.
Also, that wallpaper is the best!
I always love your posts about being a crazy Percy Jackson obsessed fangirl, because I can relate so much!
So, yeah…Percy Jackson is my obsession, too.Olivia @ Fluttering Pages recently posted…Review: All Fall Down by Ally Carter

ABSJDJ! YES! I agree with these all so much Mel! I keep fangirling about PJ and all my friends keep yelling at me to stop and I’m like: “I can’t help it! It’s too amazing!” And I annoyed my best friend so much that she gave up and read the first book. (Which is saying something because she’s totally not a reader.) #NoRegrets (And she ships Percabeth, which is good because it means we can stay friends. *nods*)

AND HOLY HEPHAESTUS THAT WALLPAPER IS AMAZING. ♥♥♥ Love it so much. xD

Thanks for sharing Mel and, as always, fabulous post!

(You can tell I just went on a Percy Jackson binge-reread, can’t you? 😉 )Zoe @ Stories on Stage recently posted…We All Looked Up

Love this post- and such fun, accurate gifs. When I really love a book, I really want other people to love it too. I know some of my friends don’t really have the same taste in books though- so I’m not always sure if I want to recommend the book to them. haha

Bahaha! This post was super fantastic, Mel! 🙂 Unfortunately for me, I don’t think it’s practical to buy all editions of a book (my mom would rather save up for tuition, yeah?), but everything else in this post is totally spot-on. I was grinning and going, HELL YES, THAT’S ME! while reading this post. <3Aimee @ Deadly Darlings recently posted…Let Me Help You Write an Effective Review / Tips for Struggling Reviewers (Part One)

This is quite possibly the most accurate post in the history of blogging. I do ALL of these things. Like, last week, I was in the bookstore, looking around shadily so I could rearrange the shelves, displaying the books I really liked better. That is messed up! But I do it 😉 And the editions thing, SO true! I just ordered new Hunger Games editions because I want them ALL. AND I have a Hunger Games copy just to lend out on the off chance someone hasn’t read it! I mean, the obsession is real. I love this post!!Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight recently posted…Review: Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman

I TOTALLY RELATE. I think…I think I am a fangirl. XDXD Omg, and yes yes to #5. I’ve actually had that, where I didn’t shove a good book at my sister because I loved it so much I wanted to protect it from her scathing reviews, ahha. XD (But, yes, I eventually relented, because I’m nice…maybe…4% of the time?)Cait @ Paper Fury recently posted…The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B // Batman has OCD

OMG your right on so many levels and I loved the BBT gifs. Love that show and they made me laugh out loud at work. I think realistically I don’t have very many favourites that match your signs, which is good. I have one that I will always recommend and have the copy for, the Loop series by Karen Akins, love it! Great post, Mel!Emma @ Never Judge a Book by its Cover recently posted…ARC REVIEW – 99 DAYS by Katie Cotugno

LOVE this so much!! It is so true. I read a book at the beginning of this month that was just AMAZING!!!! Seriously. And I felt every single one of these. I would also add this one: “The thought of starting another book that can’t possibly compare to the one you just finished is heartbreaking.”Cynthia recently posted…BOOK REVIEW: Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill

hahaha so great! And so true. Especially number 9 seeing as though basically noone comes to Aussie for signings. So when there’s a Twitter giveaway or something it’s like *DIVES FOR THE MOUSE*Nara recently posted…Half Wild: Further Drowing in Further Seas of Feels

Couldn’t agree more, especially with the pretend conversations! Seriously, I always wondering if I mad or not because I often have a pretend conversations (mostly with my fictional crushes, ofc) before I go to sleep.
Anyway, great post, Mel! 🙂

Mel, I think you just summarized the whole book and blogger community with one post! This is totally me for the 5th Wave series and the Septimus Heap series. I honestly think that book characters are technically real, because if the author who created them is real and you, the reader are real, then what stops both of your brains from bringing to life a character and loving them forever? Just my crazy rambling thoughts, but still, it’s cool to think about.

Haha this post is so perfect!
#8 – LOL, yes!!! Gotta make sure that book is front and center. 😀
I also love to rave about it right away on Twitter…. I need everyone to know I LOVE THIS BOOK.
Great post + gifs, girl. <3Danielle @ Love at First Page recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [30]

This is so true!I agree with everything.And I feel so quite happy to know that I am not the only weirdo in the world:)
My fav is #7.I do that quite often,and my mom is planning to take me to the mental clinic to get a check up:)
Love this post Melanie!Mishma @ Chasing Faerytales recently posted…Why do we need more diverse books?

Have you been watching me? Are you the one making sounds in my window because I’m pretty sure all of this is ME. ….And I’m not even sorry! Such an awesome post Melanie!! WRITE MOREEEEE. ……seriously, I demand it.

Melanie is a 16 year old student from Melbourne, Australia. She's known as that crazy melodramatic fangirl to her friends and loves spending her time procrastinating, fangirling over Percabeth, wasting her life away on Twitter and reading (duh). Addictions include gummy bears, ice-cream, coffee and binge-watching TV shows. Friends, New Girl, The 100, HTGAWM and Sherlock are her true loves.

Celine is 18 years old and from the Netherlands. She's been a reader for as long as she can remember, and she believes she will be one forever. Though books will forever remain her number one, she also loves food, singing like no one's listening (even though they probably are), dancing like no one's watching (in her dance class, AKA where people are definitely watching) and doodling on every place that can and can't be doodled on.
